Tony Khan expressed openness to signing Nikki Bella to AEW if she expressed renewed interest.
In a recent episode of her podcast, Nikki Bella revealed that she had contemplated reaching out to Khan about the possibility of returning to wrestling and joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW), particularly after being inspired by Mercedes Mone’s promo at the Big Business special.
However, she also discussed her reservations, citing family commitments as a significant factor. Despite her hesitation, Khan indicated that the door would remain open if Bella were to reconsider.
During an appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Khan shared his admiration for Bella’s achievements in her wrestling career and stated that he would indeed consider signing her if she were to make the call.
He also commended Brie Garcia, the spouse of AEW star Bryan Danielson:
“If Nikki Garcia ever wanted to come into AEW, I would be very interested in that. I think the world of her. I have so much respect for Nicole and Brie.
They’re like family to us because Bryan is like a part of my family, and that means Brie and Nicole [are] part of the family. So I have so much respect for both of them, and if Nikki was interested in coming to AEW, we would love to have her here any time.
That was so great to hear. It means the world, and I just like both of them so much. I think they’re really, really cool and really, really great stars that would add a lot to AEW if they ever wanted to come.”
